Michael Carrick has addressed Manchester United’s defeat and the speculation surrounding Carlos Baleba
Michael Carrick has urged Manchester United to remain calm and focused despite their disappointing 2-0 defeat to Hull City in the opening game of the season.
When asked about Carlos Baleba, Carrick made it clear that his attention was solely on the match and declined to provide any further comments on the midfielder.
Addressing the defeat, the United boss acknowledged that losing the first game of the campaign was difficult to accept, but stressed that one result would not alter the club’s overall direction or plans. Carrick believes the team must put the disappointment behind them, learn from what went wrong and turn their attention towards next week’s fixture.
The manager was particularly frustrated by the manner in which United conceded both goals, with set pieces proving decisive. Carrick admitted there are clear areas that require improvement and expects his players to respond positively as they look to bounce back from the poor start.
